The recent conversation between Jorn Teske, the Managing Director at Hockenheim-Ring GmbH, and Auto Motor und Sport Magazine (AMuS) revolves around the Hockenheim circuit and its relevance in the current landscape of the sport. Teske told AMuS, We very much want Formula 1 to come back to Germany.

The news of Germany getting back on the F1 map has fans excited all over. To add to the excitement, Teske stated, “We know how important the premier class is for a circuit, but also for the region around it. We owe our global fame to the sport and are really doing everything we can to come back.” Having a German GP is very important for the people as one of their home teams, Mercedes, has been among the top podium finishers.

Highlighting the decline of races happening in Germany, Teske stated, “We are definitely open to organizing a race once every two years. If there were a rotation with, say, the Nürburgring, that would be great for the German fans, but also for myself.” He emphasized how he wants the German Races to be more about the race and said, “I want sport to be the main focus here and the show to be just an entertaining side effect and not the other way around.”
